Three years of practice with a focus on patient education, pain-free dentistry, and restorative and cosmetic care
Background
Dr. Monte Iskandaryan, known to patients as Dr. Monte, brings three years of clinical experience and a strong foundation in patient education and pain-free dentistry to Prime Dental Group. He earned his Bachelor of Science in Biology from the University of California San Diego before completing his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree at the University of Southern California School of Dentistry. Dr. Monte went on to complete a Prosthodontics internship at USC and attended AAE 2025 in Boston, Massachusetts, furthering his commitment to excellence in patient care. Practicing and seeing patients over the past three years has been a blessing, and he is proud to serve the El Monte community.
Clinical Expertise
Dr. Monte's clinical expertise includes direct and indirect restorations, cosmetic dentistry, and functional, biomimetic dentistry. He is dedicated to helping patients achieve healthy, natural-looking results while preserving tooth structure and promoting long-term oral health. His approach combines technical skill with a gentle, patient-centered philosophy that puts comfort and understanding first.
Community Involvement
Dr. Monte values the trust his patients place in him and is committed to building lasting relationships within the El Monte community. He believes that dentistry is most effective when it is rooted in education, transparency, and a shared commitment to oral health.
Philosophy of Care
Every treatment begins with educating the patient on their oral health. Dr. Monte believes it is critical to understand the factors that affect a patient's oral health and how to prevent further progression of dental disease. With many new patients, he often hears about fear from past traumatic dental experiences—which is why he emphasizes pain-free dentistry, starting with his anesthesia injection technique that builds trust between the doctor and the patient for the rest of the appointment. What he enjoys most about dentistry is seeing patients' oral health transform from their first visit to after treatment is complete, when they feel confident showing off their new healthy smile.
Outside the Office
Outside of the office, Dr. Monte does his best to live a balanced life, prioritizing his health and fitness, quality time with family, and cultivating relationships with the community and his friends. He makes time for personal hobbies such as playing basketball, hiking, and painting.
